I had to have severe re-training when I got my computerized machine as I had spent about 55 years of sewing over pins. Don't worry about the pins but sure don't want to ruin the timing. Haven't done it , thank goodness.

I always sew over my pins , broke the needle maybe 3 times in 30 years. I will learn my lesson at some point( point, get it) but until then the pins stay in.
